My Passion. The Second Surge.

Ok, so that title is a bit… suggestive.  Get over it.

Last night, I attended another meeting of the Independent Film Makers Coalition, aka IFC.  This is the organization that hosted the One Night Stand 10 Hour Film competition.  There was some drama the competition screening and last night seemed to be “talk shit about people behind their back” night.  I wasn’t impressed with the lack of professionalism of many of the IFC Board members.  The guy resigned, let it go.

Anyway, the big piece of awesome I got to hang out with last night was a RED One.  This is a 4K camera.  That means it has an active resolution of 4520 x 2540 pixels.  Compare that to the highest HD signal you can get on your TV at 1920 x 1080.  I think I just saw some of your eyes glaze over.  Here, look at this:

Screen resolution size comparison.

That 4k there?  That is where the RED One sits compared to 1080p.  Look how much bigger that image is, it is absolutely astounding!  I actually got to stand next to this machine and talk to the guy who owns TWO of them.  He is currently in the process of shooting a feature this is about to become the only two RED shoot in the Midwest.  That is just too cool.  He said that just the body runs $17,500 and when you get all the  lenses, power, and storage accessories, you are looking at a total setup camera of around $40,000.  Now, I understand that is a LOT of money, but look at it another way.  Other cameras that aren’t even capable of what the RED can do, run around $250,000.

Then, at NAB this year, RED introduced the RED Scarlet.  A 3k camera that will run around $3,000.  It will include a lot of stuff that will allow it to come out of the box ready.  The Scarlet doesn’t have as big of a sensor in it, but it does have a damn big one.

The RED One has a sensor in it the same size as a piece of Super 35mm film.  That means you get image characteristics that are extremely similar to film.  This is awesome because you get the same depth of field as you are used to with million dollar film cameras and the image quality is astounding.  The monitor that comes as an accessory for the RED One is a little 8″ LCD that outputs 720p.  At screen sizes that small you cannot tell the difference between 720p and the higher resolutions, so it gives you a damn fine example of what your footage looks like.

The guy, Steve Pruet (sp?), is such an amazing guy.  He is shooting and funding a feature out of his own pocket.  He has dropped over $250,000 on just equipment for the project and that includes two RED Ones.  He showed some of his footage last night and even on a standard definition DVD outputted to a crappy projector, the footage was absolutely gorgeous.  The amount of detail capable of a 4k image will just blow your mind.

Really, the thing that is grabbing me is that 3k Scarlet.  Once you are done getting all the accessories for it, you will be out around $7-8,000.  That is NOT at all bad.  That is a similar price to a Canon or Sony HD prosumer camera by itself and those aren’t capable of a 3k image.  The Scarlet will completely change independent film, I have no doubt of that.

I know that I threw a lot of jargon around and many of you are lost.  A 4k image is huge, but when you output your project, you are most likely going to output to a 2k master.  This means that you are throwing away a lot of pixels, but this also means that you can digitally, on a computer, zoom in and not loose and detail.  Taking a 4k image and mastering to 2k gives you so many options when it comes to editing, that you can do things on computer that wouldn’t be able to do in the field.  That is the real beauty of a large image camera like the RED, aside from the crystal clear image and the jaw-dropping depth of field.

Enough film geek for ya?

Oh God, My Childhood!

So I’ve been thinking about my childhood recently.  Really because the first dog I had is being put to sleep tomorrow.  Super sad.

Then I started thinking about all the new movies that are just remaking or continuing my childhood.  First, let us talk about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.  This is probably the best of the recent childhood rehashings.  It wasn’t the best of the Indy movies by any stretch of the imagination, but it was a fun movie.  As a continuation of my childhood memories, it did a fairly good job, but it definitely didn’t match up to Raiders of the Lost Ark or Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.  So at this point, my memories of childhood are doing ok, still alive.

Then we come to the hardest hit portions of my childhood: Star Wars.  The original trilogy was one of the greatest movie memories I’ve had.  Since then, they have been among my favorite films and I really geeked out on them.  Then the prequels were released.  When I saw Episode 1, for a while, I tricked myself into believing it was a good movie.  Eventually, I had to face the facts and admit, it sucked hard.  Episodes 2 and 3 raised the bar a little with each movie, but never to the levels of vision and ingenuity shown in the original three.  Once Revenge of the Sith ended, I was hoping that the Clone War saga was put to a close and the Star Wars franchise could just die in peace, with what little dignity it had left.  That is what George Lucas did to his own series, he murdered it in cold blood.

Now, to exhume the body and presumably rape the corpse, is Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  The story to link together the stories of Episodes 2 and 3.  Just the last bit of shit to make sure that the Star Wars fans are completely pissed off and the series is wholly and completely trashed.  Don’t get me wrong, I will go see it, but I will NOT be waiting in line on release day.  I have seen what George Lucas has done to his much loved series and I am not excited about what’s coming.  Maybe I will be shown wrong and it will be a good production, but my expectations are so low, they can’t really be called expectations.

The last thing that I will talk about is Back to the Future.  This was another trilogy that was so well made and just enraptured me as a child.  The movies wove together so well and were excellently delivered by Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd (among others), they also stand in my favorite movies below Star Wars and Indiana Jones (respectively from great to slightly less great).  Thankfully, the rumors of a fourth BttF movie were squashed and it will not be in production.  You can’t grasp how happy this makes me.  The series finished itself at the end of the third movie and everything was wrapped up all nice and tight.

Why do there need to be remakes and re-imaginings of movies that were just fine the way they were?  If you want to bring the movie to a newer audience, let them watch the original.  Let them figure out that if weren’t for these original classics, the stories we know and love today wouldn’t be around.  Please, let the old stories lay in peace.  They don’t need to be rehashed, reimagined, redone, recovered, rewhatevered.  There are so many creative people out there with so many great ideas and skills, give them a chance.  Throw some money to the independent film makers instead of $200 million dollars to remake and fuck up a movie that was just fine the first time.  Creative and original stories are the way to go.

My Current Florida Confusion

Have you out there heard of Alex Barton?  If so, you are probably pretty outraged.  If you haven’t, then read this here article.  Personally, I am so pissed off at a lot of people right now.

Apparently taking a child to the front of the classroom and having all his classmates tell him what they don’t like about him and then voting him out of the classroom, that isn’t considered emotional abuse.  Let me tell you something.  Being in front of the class like that is fucking terrifying.  Then you add the horror of being called “disgusting” and “annoying” by your peers and THEN voted 14-2 to leave the classroom.  The teacher then sends you to spend the rest of the day in the nurse’s office.  No.  That wouldn’t bother anyone.

The Florida state attorney’s office doesn’t consider the situation endured by Alex Barton to fill the requirements for emotional child abuse.  Really?  What the fuck is emotional abuse then?  Being verbally abused by your friends and classmates in a public setting?  Being voted out of the classroom, denied your legal right and obligation to attend an education institution.  I’m sure that Alex didn’t consider that he was being denied an education by his own teacher, but that is still the case.

Then add the case that Alex was in the process of being diagnosed with Asperger’s.  I can’t really be sure whether or not Wendy Portillo (Alex’s teacher) knew of the possible diagnosis, but she should have known.  Though, regardless of whether the possible diagnosis was known, you do NOT treat a student like that.

The fact that Alex may have Asperger’s may be causing this issue being blown way up; however, I think this is a good thing.  There is no doubt in my mind that there are hundreds of kids who get mistreated like this every day.  The teacher gets protected by the school system, nothing happens, and the kid gets mistreated for the rest of the time spent under the teacher.  There needs to be a greater amount of scrutiny placed on teachers when dealing with children.  Bullshit like this needs to be made more public and the teacher needs to be fired.  Ms. Portillo was moved to a office position and hopefully there will be enough outrage to cause her to get flat out fired.

What is your take on this situation?

To All the Good People I Know

This post is about Good People Day 2008. I posted about it on Wednesday.  I started writing this yesterday, but I didn’t have time to finish it and this isn’t one of those things that I felt could be rushed.  This is to all the good people in my life.  Be prepared for some gushy writing.

I will give a shout-out to Gary Vaynerchuk.  He is first because he started this Good People Day thing.  Upon further self-reflection, it amazes me that it took someone else, who I don’t even know, to appreciate all the good people.  So, this is to you Gary.

This one goes out to Mike.  This guy has been so awesome to accept me into his life and his home.  He is a really a great inspiration for me to just get off my ass and do what I love.  I know I talk about all these famous people I follow on Twitter and whatnot, but when I really think about people who have inspired me personally, Mike is really at the top of the list.

Then there is Mike’s wife, Mary.  She is an animal-lover and just an overall fun-loving kind of person and is one of those people that when you spend some time around, you just feel a little better about your day and just can’t help but smile if not laugh.  I admit, I don’t talk to or spend as much time hanging out with Mary and much as I do her husband, but she is still a fun person to hang with and sometimes, that’s really all you need to do.

Kody is another one of those guys that is an inspiration.  This guy is so god-damned talented it’s sick.  He isn’t elitist about it either and is more than willing to help you learn about anything he is into.  He has really inspired me, much like Mike, to just get off my ass and get out there and do what I love and just see where it leads me.  Kody is definitely right next to Mike on my list of inspirational people.

Ryan is one of those guys that everyone needs in their life.  He doesn’t take any shit from anyone.  He will tell you straight up if you are being a moron or whatnot.  Granted, I haven’t seen or heard him say as much, but he seems like the kind of guy that would.  That is really the inspiration I get from Ryan.  Sadly, I don’t know a lot about Ryan because he is a lot like me in that he is somewhat quiet and a little reserved.  Until you hit one of his buttons and then you have a whirlwind on your hands.  I have to say, it shows me what people should really be like.  Once you find something that you are really passionate about, let people know.

Steve is a friend of mine that I have had for a while now.  He stayed one of my friends when I was going through a rough time dealing with a former friend, also one of Steve’s friends.  Since then, he never really wanted to talk about all that shit that happened, which I took, at first for just not wanting to talk about it.  Now, I realize that he was really trying to tell me that it doesn’t matter.  Friends are your friends and it shouldn’t matter who else is or is not your friend.  Steve also is an inspiration in that he is wanting to follow the same career path as myself.  He doesn’t have any formal university-level training, but that doesn’t really seem to matter to him.  He is doing what he loves despite whether you are sent overseas by the Army.  He isn’t seeing it as a roadblock, but an opening to do what he loves while is is on deployment.

Adam is another of those friends that made me realize that friends are friends, no matter what.  He is a rather giving and caring individual, no matter what his exterior will impress upon you.  If he asks you a question about something, he is actually, genuinely interested in what you have to say.

The last good person that I want to talk about is my wife, Lexy.  She is such a hard working person that it amazes me how much of a bipedal tornado I am married to.  She, like Ryan, isn’t one to take shit from anyone.  She is crazy talented, she can make you smile, and is one inspiring individual.  Every time I get mopy and talk about what I want to do, but I can’t because of this or that, she pretty much tells me that I can do it if I really wanted to and should go do it.  She just kicks me in the ass and tells me to go out and do what I love.

That’s about all the good people that I know personally.  All of these people I have chosen to talk about do things not only for themselves, but for other people.  They think nothing of putting other people first.  If you aren’t on this list, please, it isn’t because I don’t like you or don’t think you are an overall good person.  I have my reasons for shouting out certain people and not others.

I hope the day after Good People Day is good enough. :D

A few of the updatedness

I’m not really going to talk about things that have been happening to me because, really, I’ve been on spring break and sitting at home doing nothing.  Having no friends really sucks.

ssbb_front.jpgI will talk about a game real quick.  Dave, two days before he left for Kosovo with no Wii, purchased Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  This Wii game is essentially a shit-ton of Nintendo and other characters in a fighting game.  Really, it isn’t my cup of tea and I sucked hard core at it.  Playing as Link and unlocking Snake was fun, but really, beyond that, I didn’t have a ton of fun.  Granted, I can see how this game can be a lot of fun if you like doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over again.  Not for me.  At least, not for me in a fighting game.

Other than playing the on and off game here and there, I have mostly been focused on setting up collections and such.  I went over how I cataloged my DVDs, games, and books.  I finally finished tagging and deleting my music.  I deleted a good chunk of music that I don’t listen to or was severely confused as to why I had it in my collection.  The tool I used was Mp3Tag.  This program will read the ID3 (or other type of) tags on your media and give you an opportunity to change it.  The super convenient part was re-tagging whole folders.  As I have my music organized by artist and album, it was easy for me to load up a whole album, look up that album on the internet and have Mp3Tag import that information and apply it to the files.  Some of the tag sources will even import cover art for the album.  When it was all said and done, I had three or four albums that the software couldn’t find cover art for.  I looked these up on the web and imported it into the program and boom.  Then, I imported all of the files into my iTunes library and now my iPod has cover art for every album and song in my collection.  Everything is all organized and makes me a little happy on the inside.

I’m sitting here trying to think up other things to write about and really, I don’t have a whole lot.  I think I need a hobby or something that will take my mind off of my friends or lack thereof or how they have been influenced by the actions of others.  Something I did notice is my friendships with Adam and Steve have both changed.  It’s ok with me.  I just keep thinking about how would I go about making new friends.  Really, I have not idea and the nature of people in the Broadcasting degree field is MUCH different than the nerdy geek that I happen to be.  Maybe when I start my crusade against the lack of mobile learning and/or converged access to information, I might meet some more people with the same interests as me.  Though, I think the biggest problem is that I think older and am older than a lot of the others I attend class with.  Maybe because I’ve been going to college for too damn long.  Maybe I should get into more extracurriculars.  I don’t know.  It’s tough for someone who is socially awkward.  I really do think that if I get a position at the Apple Store, things will change.

You know.  With my interest in video and computers, maybe I should combine the two.  I mean, still focus on video production, but also add computer science.  I think I will change my minor to computer science.  I’ll start at the beginning of the minor and make no presumptions that I know what I’m doing.  Hopefully I will learn something this time.  I’m not expecting to be a hardcore coder, but at least I will have a good idea of what would be possible with code and a direction to start going with it until I find someone (like my brother-in-law) with the proper skills and drive to help me bring my ideas into fruition.  Yeah.  That sounds like a great idea.

Looks Around

Things are changing for Lexy and I, so I decided to change the look of this here site.  I like it, makes it look a bit more “bloggy” somehow.  There is some work to be done with the sidebars, but I can’t figure out what I need to do.  Suggestions are welcome.

The two of us have decided that we are getting out of this money blackhole we call a house.  Its not that the house is falling apart or anything, it is that we are tired of financially supporting those who promised to pay their share on time, when money is due, but have failed to uphold that end of the bargain.  It is sad when those around you decide to treat you not as friends, but as landlords or utility companies.  It is fine if you don’t feel like paying a bill for two or three months, but when you fuck with our future, our credit, there is a line to be drawn.  That is essentially the crux of the problem.  The only people we know in this area, our friends, have not been treating us as friends and that I cannot stand.  I’m not a complete hardass.  I understand that people come on hard times and they don’t make as much money as they would normally, but Lexy supported this house when she didn’t have a job and nobody thought to say, “Hey, let me help take some of that burden.  Let’s share the responsibilities of this house.”  I told many this when we first moved in.  These situations destroy friendships much faster that natural erosion and that is exactly what happened.  My will and want to help other people has plummeted.  Lexy and I have helped keep people afloat in this house with no reciprocation that I just don’t see them as friends anymore.  Really, I see them as people I can’t wait to get out of my life, and that really saddens me.

Yes, the lease on this house is not up yet, but the landlord has been very accommodating and we have a plan that will keep him in a rent check.  The next step is to get a hold of him and present it.  I will keep you updated.

So, Lexy and I have decided to bid adieu to this house, and thus our Warrensburg friends, in favor of a place, hopefully, in Odessa, MO.  The idea is that Odessa is between where Lexy works and where we go to school.  It will also be beneficial to be closer to KC when I go in for the interviews at the Apple Store.

That’s right, I have an interview at the Apple Store in KC.  Actually, I have two more interviews.  I did the phone interview on Friday and am fairly certain that I did extremely well.  Now I have a “group” interview, which I’m not sure what that means, but if I get through that, then I go on to the one-on-one interview.  The idea that was set up by the interviewer over the phone is that I will start as a Mac Specialist as part-time and move on to a Creative position when I can start working full-time.  I am super excited to have an even remote opportunity to work for Apple in really any capacity.

That’s is pretty much a rehashing of everything that is happening in my life right now.

It’s been a while.

I haven’t updated here in a while because I really didn’t think I had all that much to talk about.  Let’s see what we can find, shall we?

On the John front.  I still don’t know what’s going on with him.  He won’t return my calls, but will find the time to physically drop off some of my stuff.  *shrug*  I’m getting very much to the point of too much emotional commitment.  I’m investing too much and getting nothing in return.  I would just like my TV back if he’s going to act like this.  Real men reconcile their differences and move on.  I don’t want to interfere with their healing process, I just want my friend back.

Speaking of investment, I have been considering stock trading.  So, I have joined an online simulation called Wall Street Survivor.  Then, I took those stocks and put them into a Google Finance portfolio and saw what it would look like if I had actually invested that money in those stocks.  So far, I’m “up” around $1,300.  Apple’s stock is doing far worse than I anticipated.  Damn iPhone hype.  They are “costing” me around $600.  One would think that Apple stock would increase with the iPhone so close to release.  Maybe it will turn around in the next two weeks.

Recently we got Super Paper Mario for the Wii.  We got it last weekend and I beat it last night.  I may have killed one of our Wiimotes in the process.  It was weird, I defeated the final boss and then the Wiimote decided that the 2 button was it’s own enemy.  It doesn’t respond or responds a LOT when pressed.  I’m sending it to Nintendo for repairs.  I hope it won’t cost too much.

Overall, I like Super Paper Mario.  It was interesting and fun.  Not too difficult, but still challenging.  The story line was actually kind of intriguing.  The game is sort of a side-scrolling RPG, so there is a lot of stuff that I can still do in the game even though I’ve beaten it.  The game is a little cracked out, but it adds a little flavor.

In other news, we went to The Melting Pot last night for dinner.  It is a fondue restaurant.  The place is very cool and pretty tasty.  Not to mention rather expensive.  There were six people at our table, so we got the automatic 18% gratuity.  Our party was Dave, Natasha, Lexy, Cody, Richard, and myself.  I would not recommend the mushroom salad unless you REALLY like mushrooms and more mushrooms.  Though, deep frying your own food at your table is pretty awesome.  Our bill at the end of the night for the three of us (Lexy, Cody, and I) totaled a grandiose $150.  The total table bill was (duh) twice that.  I died a little inside when we put all $300 on our plastic card.  We did get cash from Natasha, so that helped a little.

Ok.  I’m done for now.  I’m cooking steaks tonight.

While I watch this movie.

I am watching Henry Fool.  A movie I learned about by watching the show Higher Definition on HDNet.  I learned about this independent film through its sequel, Fay Grim.  The movie, Henry Fool, has an interesting dialog rhythm.  One you don’t generally get into until you start really watching the movie.

One line in particular has stuck with me.  I don’t know why, but I cannot get over it.

Simon Grim: “It hurts to breathe.”
Henry Fool: “Of course it does.”

Simon had just been beaten up and had received a couple of broken ribs.  Interesting how a seemingly uninteresting line could have such a sticky effect upon me.  I really do suggest watching this film.  It has such an interesting feel drizzled upon it.  One I cannot particularly address right now as it has not yet suck in completely.  Never have I seen so many people smoke so much in a film.

To dance upon other news, I have decided to switch to Linux.  Ubuntu to be exact.  It is an interestingly complicated and frustrating operating system, but I do enjoy it.  The fancy desktop effects both embedded and available third-party are rather useless, but pretty.  Thus, I use them.  The separate workspaces, while I have yet to find need for them, may come in rather helpful.  We shall see.

Dawn (or Andreya, I don’t know which is proper) seemed rather out of it tonight when she arrived home.  I wonder if there is something wrong or if she was just tired.  She went directly to bed, so my bet is on the latter.  Perhaps if I see her in the morning before she wanders off to work, I will ask her if everything is okay.  I hope she knows that I am available to talk to.  Adam seems okay with talking to me as he drunk-dialed me last night.  Interesting.

A non-podcast update.

I know that I have talked a lot about my new podcast.  I decided that since that I can’t sleep, I’d talk about some of the things that have been going on.

Dawn’s been a much better apartment mate recently.  Now that the *ahem* incident *ahem* has been quote/unquote dealt with, she’s actually been acting like she wants to live here.  I like it.  Living with someone who really didn’t want to be there wasn’t all that great.  It’s all good now.

I’m still kind of curious on how John and Holly are doing, but I promised that I wouldn’t contact them until they contacted me.  I must admit, I did drive by their apartment and see if I could see anything.  I didn’t leave the car or even stop it.  I just drove by and tried to see if I could see anything through the window.  It appeared they are still living there, but I don’t think they were home when I drove by.  The lights were on and I could see the TV we gave them.  I wonder if they are still planning on moving after the StL Renfest they, at last check, were planning on going to.  I had heard they were planning on moving to Columbia after that Renfest, but wanted to keep it a secret.  I wonder why?  Maybe they thought Lexy and I would freak out or something.  What kind of friends would we be if we freaked out over something like that?  What kind of friends are they to want to keep a big life-step like that a secret.  That’s the kind of move that would pretty much kill John and I as friends.  I mean we’d still be friends, but we wouldn’t see each other as much, but probably at MOST once a year.  Huh, I wonder if that’s why he said they probably weren’t gonna go to Lillies this year.  The timeline fits.  Who knows.  I’ll probably find out from Adam or Steve a couple of months after they move because one or both of them ran into them in Columbia or Jeff City somewhere.  Hell, I don’t know, I’m just pessimistically taking a look at the future of our friendship.

I got a new DVI to HDMI cable for our TV.  I thought it solved this little line problem we have with some of the shows on some of the channels.  It doesn’t always show up, but always does on certain shows and channels.  This tells me that it’s a problem with the compression or encoding of those shows and how they are broadcasted via our MOXI box.  I figure that if it’s the TV, it would be more consistent with more shows.  I’m having the local TV repair company come in for a free warranty repair job.  I’ll probably ask them when they call, if I can email them a picture of the issue and see if they can diagnose it from there, without coming out.  We’ll see.  If they have to come out, then I’m not out anything but some dude looking at my stuff.

I think I’ll be able to sleep now.  I’m gonna go give it a try.

It was a weekend.

Overall, the weekend wasn’t at all bad.  There were some spots where I had to pinch the bridge of my nose and sigh, but they were few and far between.

Saturday, I hung out at Kody and Ryan’s apartment and totally played with all of their cool stuff.  It was awesome and I found out that I actually kind of like Motorstorm for the PS3.  Once you get used to driving with the Sixaxis, the game gets pretty fun.  I’d imagine it could be very fun with these saves.  In fact, I found out that I actually like the PS3 for something other than it’s Blu-Ray capability.  It as a couple of pretty sweet games and PS2 games run rather nice on them.  I watched Ryan play some Destroy All Humans, a rather interesting game.  I also played with Kody’s Vista machine.  I played Solitaire with the Speech Recognition.  Not as hard as you may think, but I didn’t have enough time to finish a whole game.

Sunday, we had the barbecue at Lexy’s grandmother’s house.  It was fun.  Steve and hung out and chatted it up while I cooked some food on the grill.  We accidentally made some emo kids cry.  I think they were Cody’s guests.  So, Cody, didn’t mean any disrespect.  I guess some banter got out of control.  We didn’t mean to make anyone cry, it just happened.  Other than that, it was fun.  Just chilling, chit-chatting with Adam and Steve, occasionally getting hugged on my a doped-up Sarah.  All was good.

So, it appears that Red Versus Blue is ending the series at 100 episodes.  I don’t blame them.  The series was so funny, but probably an awfully huge amount of work for such little payback.  Though, they definitely developed some very useful talents for future projects that could potentially pay a LOT.  So, you go RoosterTeeth, you go hard.  I wish this Broadcast student could work for you.

That’s about all, really.  I’m gonna go watch some TV and whatnot while eating some Easter candy.  Aww, yeah.
